A billion years in the blink of an eye

An old family friend, Al Jarnow, was linked to today by kottke.org. His work always has been amazing and its nice to see some of the other stuff getting some attention. This is a shout out on a blog with tons of traffic. Well done.

A billion years in the blink of an eye:
When I was a kid, one of my favorite things on one of my favorite shows (3-2-1 Contact) was Al Jarnow's Cosmic Clock, a short video animation showing a billion years of time passing in fewer than two minutes. There's so much science in this little video.





This is one of those things I thought I'd just never see again. YouTube is truly a global treasure.
